I cannot go in FullScreen with F (but I can resize the video). But the real main trouble is some weird coloured lines (like 'ghost' lines on any video I want to watch).
PIP is latest overlay video output; its bit hacked up, better to use the old p96_pip for the build I agree. Try help option, on video output, there are some addition video formats you can select I believe for pip, this might solve your color problem.

Was PIP video output tested with FE ?
It was mostly tested by X1000 beta testers, I don't think anyone tested the overlay video output, it's not so important anymore, when you have comp_yuv
Quote:
BTW, I have to use MPlayer-GUI 1.51 since 1.53 doesn't allow to use PIP video output
* Select "Default" video output, in MplayerGUI, * Select "Extras" tab, in additional parameters type –vo pip, or you can edit the conf/config file add a line vo=pip, that sets the default video output in mplayer.

I know the new Version is for the X1000 but I tested it on my SAM460ex. On my System is OS4.1 FE and driver 1.2 installed. Of course I use the non-altivec version. For my test I use a Blue-Ray rip to avi. The result is that the .avi runs slower as on version 5.1.
Yes it does a bit, it uses a newer FFMPEG, and some decoders produce better picture quality I believe. Quote:
Picture and sound runs on the old version synchronously. On the new version (6.3) Pictures run faster than sound.
You might find that you need to change the delay settings in conf/config file to calibrate the video & audio. Quote:
My Preferences:Video output:comp; Play video in:window; Monitor aspect:16:9; other video preference settings are on default. Mplayer settings (Extras) are not activated.
Sound like your using MplayerGUI, first of all "comp" is the old composition video output, this one does not have any YUV420 support, so you don't get any of video acceleration Hans has been taking about. You need to use comp_yuv or comp_yuv2 to get yuv420p acceleration and to get DRI support, in video output in MplayerGUI select "Default", this should make mplayer use best video output.
I don't think you should select any Monitor Aspect, Mplayer will detect your aspect from workbench screen mode settings, so simply use workbench screen mode that is correct for your monitor and mplayer should display the video correctly.

Thanks. But there is only -vo PIP in help (-vo help), no other option.
So actually LiveForIt-Mplayer is only useful for Radeon HD owners. Others will have to wait for DvPlayer to be released.
Regarding MPLayer-GUI, you were right, addingd -vo pip in Extras solved my problem (even if I have no use of LiveForIt-Mplayer for the moment).
If I use comp, then I cannot go to fullscreen. I get this output:
That’s a bug in Picasso96, it does not find all screen modes, pick different screen mode for your workbench and problem is solved, because "comp" is fallback video output mode I can't change the code.
Quote:
If I use SDL it opens in Fullscreen by default despite window being chosen in Mplayer-GUI
That's an old bug, just fixed it now.

I will replace PIP for P96_PIP in the next build, as that its working best.

Well you have the SDL output, yes I know it's slow but it works, and you have the COMP output it has Hardware scaling, so its bit better than SDL.
My focus is Radeon HD and on general bugs in MPlayer, improvements in Picasso96 overlay do not interest me much, sure there might be possible to implement DMA and DRI support for Picasso96 overlay, but it a lot of work and bench-marking to see if makes an improvement or not.

Kjetil, thank you for this work. Will make another small donation when I get paid next.
Performance on my X1000 is really solid with 720p playback now. With 1080 videos as expected, I can play some but a lot are too tough still. I expect less intensive codecs to be easier, and as I get time I will experiment with creating some clips from video footage I shoot.
One problem worth noting: Using any of the comp modes on my 6850 card, going full screen results in a display that is not centered on my 1920x1200 16:10 display. If 16:9 material, the black bar is at the top and the image is pushed all the way to the bottom and cropped some at the right. If 4:3 material, the black area is all to the left and the image all the way to the right. Setting I can change?
Also, OSD is not showing me time played/remaining, just a play arrow. Is this just me?
Wow! After reading a bit of this thread I downloaded the latest 6.3 from OS4Depot. I'm running FinalEdition on an X1000 with the 2.4 Radeon driver. I am impressed. I have a monitor that tends to blank for a couple seconds every time the screen format changes. With this I am able to specify 1920 X 1080 to keep my monitor in sync, and still upscale whatever video I am watching to full screen. And the processor usage is WAY down from previous versions.

I also noticed that audio and video get out of sync while going to full screen. The code used to find a screen mode in the previous version was horrible. It failed easily and it used a lot of time to find a mode id, so that code was completely rewritten. Quote:

With some GPU magic from Hans, its nice that GPU finally is used for something. Quote:

Yes a lot of work put in mplayer and the RadionHD driver to pull this off. Yet we do not have UVD/VDPAU, nor do we have AAPI and VDA.
